What grammar or usage errors annoy you the most?

[FoolsGold]

Who cares. All that matters is if you can get the gist of what someone is saying, irregardless of grammar or usage.

For what it's worth:

One I find hard to choke on is disjointed meaning. Such as the "Rare collection of pictures", is the collection rare or the pictures rare...

In that example, the collection is rare, as it directly precedes one of the nouns in question.

To say the pictures are rare, you would type the following:

"...collection of rare pictures."

I hate it when people use They're/their/there in the wrong way.

I by no means consider myself a grammar nazi but if I hear someone use "disconnect" as a noun, there will be some jackbooted goose stepping taking place up someone's backside.

I probably make a lot of grammar mistakes when I write, but at least I have the excuse that English it's not my native language . anyway I try to improve as much as possible my knowledge about foreign languages

The grammatical errors that annoy me the most occurs when people mix street / colloquial phrasing with proper verse, fo' shizzle.

Ironic that your "correct" examples are actually wrong. You should have used "us", instead of "we".

When did I ever say the second set of sentences was correct?

Our manner of typing is our 'face' on a forum. In real life I can take into account your face expressions and body language as well as your voice. But here, all we have to go by are words. So when the written language is sloppy or bad this reflects negatively on some, of course only if you are pedantic like me

I am a dull and simple lad
Can not tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen
And I wish I could have all that he has got
I wish I could be like david watts

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like david watts
Lead the school team to victory
And take my exams and pass the lot

(wish I could be)
Wish I could be like david watts
(wish I could be)
Wish I could be like david watts
(wish I could be)
Conduct my life like david watts
(wish I could be)
I wish I could be like david watts

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
He is so gay and fancy free
And I wish all his money belonged to me
I wish I could be like david watts

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with david watts
They try their best but cant succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed

Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

What annoys me most is this kind of over-correction: In other words:

I totally agree. When someone says, "He gave the gift to my wife and I." when they should say, "He gave the gift to my wife and me." You wouldn't say "He gave the gift to I." would you? The reason it gets on my nerves so much is because people like that are trying to be proper, but they don't know what they are talking about.

It doesn't bother me when people make grammatical mistakes without trying to be proper.
